A nice yellow start for Cosmo again
she had a bit of a mini bounce into pinks last night, but seems to be coming back down today. Hoping for a beach visit 
Yesterday’s saliva collection went....ok
I’m pretty sure we didn’t collect enough saliva. I’m not sure how on earth we are supposed to get 0.5 ml. Cosmo has never been a drooler. The instructions aren’t entirely clear. The video says to wet the rope with saliva and then cut the moist rope into the test tube. Problem was, is there was no rope, but an absorbent foam and then the instructions that came with the kit said to squeeze the foam and press it with a plunger to squeeze the saliva into the vial and to do that until you get 0.5ml. Well, we squeezed and squeezed, but didn’t get even a tiny drop into the vial 
Poor Cosmo. He was a good sport. I’ve emailed the company to see what we should do. I’ve saved the absorbent foam piece in the tube for now. Hopefully we don’t have to repeat and can send it in for analysis.
@Marje and Gracie was that your experience with it too?
Hope everyone has a great day!
